Instructions

Cut the chicken into one-inch cubes; rinse and pat dry. Brown in several batches in the heated oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Combine the chicken in the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low; drain. Stir in the taco seasoning mix and water. Simmer, covered, for 5 minutes. Reserve 1/3 of the cheeses. Arrange 2 tortillas in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread with 1/3 of the beans. Layer the chicken, scallions, cheeses, a small amount of salsa and remaining tortillas 1/2 at a time in the prepared dish. Top with the reserved cheeses. Bake at 350F for 10 minutes or until the cheese melts and begins to brown. Spoon the remaining salsa over the top. Sprinkle with the lettuce, tomatoes and avocado. Spoon the sour cream over the top.
